On November 20, P!nk played the last of 128 shows over the past year and a half. The run has been long, from the Summer Carnival tour, which took place in stadiums, to the Trustfall tour and P!nk Live, which both brought her to arenas. Overall, it earned $693.8 million and sold more than 4.8 million tickets, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. One of her many box office achievements is recent: The nine shows she played in October make her the month's biggest tour.
In nine shows between October 1 and 18, P!nk grossed $44.2 million and sold 254,000 tickets, placing her at No. 1 Bulletin boardmonthly Top Tours chart. That run includes four stadium dates, including an Oct. 3 show at MetLife Stadium ($9.1 million, 60,400 tickets) and three arena stops, including doubleheaders at Detroit's Little Caesars Arena and St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center.
Another nine shows in November make P!nk eligible for a final monthly chart run in 2024 when the November report is released next month.
When broken down by tour, P!nk's 2023-24 run breaks down to $584.7 million for the Summer Carnival tour, $60.8 million for last year's Trustfall tour and $48.3 million for this fall's Live 2024. Since its release last June, Luis Miguel is the only musician to have played more shows.
Summer Carnival is the second highest-grossing tour in history among women Bulletin boardThe yet-to-be-reported billion dollar estimate for Taylor Swift's The Eras tour. P!nk is just barely outpacing Beyoncé's Renaissance World tour, which grossed $579.8 million last year during a relatively short 56-show run. They are followed by Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour (2008-09) and P!nk's Beautiful Trauma World tour (2018-19), hovering on opposite sides of the $400 million mark.
Among all artists, including estimates for Swift, The Summer Carnival tour ranks eighth in revenue and just outside the top 10 in attendance.
The Summer Carnival tour spanned five legs – each of which earned at least $100 million – across three continents. The biggest was a 22-show run in North America, with $150.7 million from July to October 2023. Ultimately, the U.S. and Canada delivered $266 million, Europe accounted for about $214 million, and 20 shows in Oceania they added $104.3 million.
Travis Scott leads October's Top Tours chart, marking the highest monthly ranking for a rap artist since returning from the pandemic shutdown. He grossed $41.2 million and sold 352,000 tickets in the final dates of the Circus Maximus tour.
Scott kicked off the month with an October 9 show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ (13 miles from New York), grossing $8.7 million from 61,700 tickets sold. That's $400,000 less, but 1,300 more tickets than the stats for P!nk's October show at the same venue.
He then brought his world tour to three cities in Australia, as well as a closing night performance in Auckland, New Zealand. The Oceania leg grossed $32.5 million and sold 291,000 tickets, just over half of the European leg (June-August) but more than double the Latin American run from September.
Usher is next at No. 3, with $36.6 million for Usher: Past Present Future. Since opening on August 20, the tour has earned $90.6 million. With North American shows scheduled through mid-December and a European leg in the spring, it's likely to close at $150 million.
Future tourists Post Malone and Jelly Roll round out the top 5 at No. 4 and 5, respectively. Last week, Post announced The Big Ass Stadium tour with Jelly Roll as direct support, which will bring both acts to – you guessed it, stadiums – for the first time in their careers. Together, they have brought in over $130 million this year, but will approach $200 million in 2025.
And just outside the top five, Sabrina Carpenter makes her Top Tours debut at No. 6. The first handful of dates from the Short n' Sweet tour dropped her just outside the top 30 in September, but a full run of shows vaulted her into the top 10 for October, with a total of $27.8 million from 221,000 tickets that were sold.
